So I've recently been afforded the opportunity to purchase a new handgun. I currently own a Star BM 9mm, which is a complete piece of junk. I can barely empty a magazine without a jam.
Anyway, I've been researching handguns within my price range that are reliable and trustworthy. So far I'm down to a new Taurus PT145, and a used Sig P225.
I personally know two people who are Sig armorers. One suggests that I buy the Sig, and the other suggests that either gun will be sufficient for self defense. I've spoken to a few people who swear up and down about Sigs, and completely hate anything made by Taurus. While I listen to their opinion, most of the time it seems quite biased. I think these fellas' are speaking against the Taurus of old...not the Taurus of the 21st century.
So, a new gun with a lifetime warranty in .45ACP, or a 9mm made in the 80's with no warranty...both for $350 each. Chances are this gun will be a future daily carry piece, so please keep that in mind.
Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
